#BREAKING Medical volunteers arrested, their hands tied and locked like fugitives. This is outrageous. The HK govt has lost control over police force. A violent bloodshed is under way.
More tragic and *completely* avoidable news from #HK. Have been told that a 15 year old school boy is in a critical condition after being hit by a tear gas canister. He has undergone emergency surgery but not looking good. He was in a crowd outside a shopping mall. Barbaric.
I call on the world to act to save Hong Kong, to put pressure on Carrie Lam to pull back from the brink, demand an end to impunity for police barbarity, to impose targeted Magnitsky sanctions on those responsible for torture #HongKongProtest#StandwithHK#DemocracyForHK@hk_watch
Hearing that the police are not allowing pro-democracy demonstrators access to emergency services. Many are injured from rubber bullets and tear gas. @dominicraab@foreignoffice@UKinHongKong need to make urgent representations.
The police commander in this video is caught on tape clearly saying take a “straight shot at the head”. After the past two days of unrestrained police brutality, will the world finally wake up to what is happening in #HongKong? #HongKongStrong#DefendtheNewFrontline
This is utterly disgusting. Parliamentarians in both the House of Commons and Lords are trying to secure an Urgent Question tomorrow to force @GOVUK to respond to credible reports from #HongKong which have found illegal levels of poisonous chemicals in CCP manufactured tear gas.

Violence directed at police on Saturday is no excuse for officers to go on the rampage elsewhere. The horrifying scenes at Prince Edward metro station, which saw terrified bystanders caught up in the melee, fell far short of international policing standards.
